Despite the slower paced real estate market here in Wisconsin, there are still many viable home buyers available. A major difference between today’s market and that of a couple of years ago, is that the property inventory levels in the Madison and Middleton areas are high. This means that prospective buyers have plenty of choices. Madison area buyers are therefore looking at a large number of properties before deciding to make an offer. If you want your home to be well remembered and stay on top of their list, then the first impression is crucial.

In order to make a strong first impression, you need to properly stage your home before making it available for showings to all the Madison and Middleton area prospective buyers. A few key staging items are in the bathroom and kitchen. In the bathroom, be sure to avoid having grimy walls or shower doors. Also, if you have any outdated tiles, find a paint that is appropriate for tile and add some modern colors to the room. This, along with replacing an outdated vanity with a pedestal sink, will give the bathroom a fresh face at a low cost. In the kitchen, consider making low cost updates by staining old cabinets instead of painting them. Newer appliances are also key as they scream clean!! Buyers look for clean kitchen and bathrooms, so keep those rooms show ready at all times in order to make the best impression possible. The HGTV site has even more great staging techniques. I would encourage you to take a look for ideas and to call me in for some suggestions. I have great experience and success staging homes, and I work with Madison and Middleton area buyers on a regular basis. I therefore have firsthand knowledge to many of their likes and dislikes. So don’t hesitate any longer, give me a call and I’ll gladly come by to help you get your home show ready!!

My husband and I met Heidi when we were casually looking at houses in the Madison area and it was love at first sight.As first-time homebuyers, we had lots of questions and reservations about the entire process, but working with Heidi made all of those hesitations go away: – She actively listened to what we were looking for and what we could afford. – She genuinely cared about us (still does) – She was responsive and flexible with her schedule, sometimes jumping through hoops to get us …

Thank you for going above and beyond in our home selling process! Never did we imagine our home would sell in days, well above asking price. You made this process seem seamless and as stress free as possible. We will highly recommend you to any future home buyers/sellers in the Madison area!

Tyler & Mariah

I recommend Heidi to anyone seeking a home in the greater Madison area… We met with Heidi for a few days in May to begin our house hunt in Madison. She quickly understood what it is that we were looking for. She wouldn’t let us ‘settle’ on a house. We ultimately bought a home from her, sight unseen… and it was definitely the right fit! Thanks Heidi!

Being a first time buyer, and from out of state, I was very nervous. Heidi put me at ease from the beginning, answering the questions I had and truly helping me find what I wanted. Even when I wasn’t sure what that was! I would highly recommend Heidi to any first-time Buyer

John Rozeske

Stupendous! As long as Heidi is around, I’ll seek her representation as my realtor. She knows the market, has an established network, and will tell you what you need to hear to get your home sold.In terms of purchasing, she was patient with our decision making process as we tried to figure out what side of town to look at. At each home, she would list all of the different issues and quirks that I would never think about, and she always had a person if there was some type of work I wanted to…
